Time the wilderness

 

where are we

we are away from the distance we travelled in

and yes, we have reached our place of choosing

and yes, something is wrong...our future...its gone

we are stuck in the middle of time

and time, as always, has a mind of its own

it won't move, it won't move aside

so...do we know where to go

is it out there will we recognise it

when we come to that wilderness, time is

where our future lies, will we know

and yes, again we are on the road

walking through time

walking along its guiding light

we are out there with a purpose

we are out there with a goal

we are walking the road

where our fame and glory is waiting

but will it be our future when we reach it

will it be waiting

Somewhere out there

as a feast finds it self in its ending
and silence takes its rightfull place
in a room lost for words

a man's resting his eyes on the now
empty chairs, trying to recollect the
image of the person that sat there

it is then a door finds its lock and key
and a room out there, somewhere, is
cast into the lonelyness of the lost
word again

A pain I can bear

she was one great woman
never said she'd leave kept
me satisfied in love with so
little I was pleased

now she's gone away feelin'
out of touch out of place never
broke the peace yet she never
left me

I decided to call it a day used
me as a puppet with whom she
would play a toy thrown into
its shade

I'm stuck with my love thought
she wouldn't leave my heart misses
its beat yet it won't bring her back
to me

so I'm sittin' here with a wasted life
with a pain I can bear it'll heal in time
packin' my suitcases

haven't got much left collecting
all my things don't think I'll be
back

My Place

I know, this is where I'll die
somethin' tells me, this place
I found

will be where I'll end my life
it's a beautifull place, so peacefull
it has no lies

as far as I can see, this place, it will
be true to me, it's what I want this
place

is something, like a fantasy or more
a wish to rest my weary bones, to get
away from the world

let it leave me, near a dyin' fire, wine
flowin' close to an early morning where
birds can sing

an' noise is in retreat, my place as it is
is not much but mine to live, as long
as I can

it will protect me, shelter me from an
aging storm, that will get to me when
I'm ready

yet, 'till I die, I will live in such a way
it will drive 'Man' insane, in a surge
I will take it all

an' finally when I drop, I will whisper
under my breath: 'it wasn't all that bad'
in a beautifull place

so peacfull it has no lies, this place
true to me, is what I wanted, my need
to have

where I took a last stand, I did it well
nobody knew, 'till I fell, in this beautifull
place

so true to me, and under my breath I'll
whisper, ' it was my need to  have those
walls around me

'My Place', as it stands

Doesn't come easy

it doesn't come easy
it doesn't come easy
at all when you rise

buildin' your life
moldin' it to your style
with no place to fall

after all the madness
sadness, tears and cheers
it is a forever changin' wind

tryin' to make the most of it
tryin' to make it win, suddenly
you're there

you've found the chair that
fits you, with a wife, child,
dog and a house

you've arrived, you've done well
we;re proud, but the chair, it kicks
you out, into the street

makin' ends meet, sellin' house, car
sellin'it all, back to where it all began
startin' all over again

after all the madness, tears, all those
years, again you're there, a grey shade
crept into your hair

there's an acient look in your eyes, old,
the lies of life they hide, for the innocent
the children of your children

after all the madness, sadness, tears
and cheers, after all those years a long
day it was, lookin' up at the skies

it didn't come easy

Nowhere

sittin' here waitin' on a train
goin' somewhere into nowhere
'cause goin' nowhere is the only
place left for me to try

memorisin' the good life I had gone
somewhere out there without givin' me
a reason without explainin'

the 'don't knows' or the 'why's I'm lost
in a situation where you're waitin' on a
train goin' into nowhere

'cause  nowhere is the only place left
to go

Just another room

I'm travellin' down the road
sellin' my stuff wherever I go
I'm good at it somethin' I do well
takes me to remote places sometimes
that little out of the way

still I enjoy it, at the end of the road
just another room where I stay the
same girl with the same innocent eyes
asks me ' will I stay all night' yes it is

I know what to expect when I go up
she's lyin' in my bed in just another room
a new morning arrives she's gone happens
all the time, I pay my bill hoot my horn

leave the place another day on the road
another day of what I do well in the end
just another room where I rest well

Relivin' the past

I still think of the place
where I had sown my seed
so far back it is

it's more like a distant memory
I had more than one love there
I gave them more than their share

I left my mark on that moment in time
they'll always remember me there
I left something behind

I can't put my finger on it
I don't know what it is but
those long forgotten days

I wish they were back again
with all the loves that loved me
again close to me

I can hear their laughter
smell their manly scent
God, wish I was back again

one was there that did me in
I got hooked on him as he came in
Brucy baby, still remember your name

one of a kind you were, I could barely leave
I left you, my freedom meant that much to me
it's th only mistake I ever made

I should have stayed, given her a name
the reason being all too obvious in a way
but my rise to fame got in the way
can't we relive the past in some way
